Last nights update causing connection timeout

Post by mnl1121 » Thu Nov 02, 2017 2:33 am

Hi all,

Like lots of others last nights update broke the app, except mine is causing a connection timeout error which I haven't seen another thread for. I'm running my VPN on a Raspberry Pi and I hadn't updated in a long time so I just did a full update, but no go, app still doesn't connect. Any ideas?

App version is the latest from the Google Play Store 1.1.22

EDIT: Trying to find the server log files. Anyone know where they'd be?
Also side note my phone and server are communicating because every time I attempt to connect EXACTLY 5.10KB are received and the bytes sent continue to climb.

EDIT2: okay so I'm seeing in the log file it's a TLS Handshake error

TLS ERROR: Plaintext buffer too short (1 bytes).
TLS Error: TLS handshake failed

I apologize this has been posted elsewhere. I don't think I can delete my own post. If a mod can please delete.

For anyone reading this, reverting back to 1.1.17 works

I also have mine set up on my Raspberry Pi. I just received an update to my app that fixed it, so you should be able to download the latest version.

Yep nwright you're correct, newest app version fixes the problem.

hey guys, FYI: the error you see in the log is a symptom indicating that your server is very old. I am glad the latest version of the app is fixing the connection issue, however you should really consider upgrading your server.
